Mount Cotton Walk – this walk is approx. 7 km return and takes
about two hours. Suitable as an introductory walk for prospective new members, or a training walk for members. (There is the option to take the harder walk up Mongrel Hill.) We will leave from the Green Box at 7:00 am. Plenty of parking on the opposite side of the road in a cleared gravel area in front of property no. 712-730 West Mount Cotton Rd, Sheldon.

Mt Maroon via Cotswold Track - This Mountain has it all; we warm up through open farmland, walk up a steep rocky section, scramble and haul ourselves up a short gorge beside a stunning cliff line, a short reprieve of flat walking in a shady gully and a final rock hop over huge boulders to a magnificent 360 deg views at the summit. Then when recovered we head back down again. If you have been training well with a view to maybe climbing Mt Barney in the future then this is a perfect mountain for you. Plenty of good spots to take breaks and refuel so bring 2 litres of water and plenty of snacks. Call Tracy or Betty if interested.
Meet at Rathdowney time to be arranged.
